if you have not picked out a dive boat look into tanks-o-lot in clearwaterHmmmm....This might be interesting !!!!

they are a very relaxed operator and good people. they have two boats
and usually carry about 10 divers max. if you get a chance there's a very
large area of the concrete remains from the old clearwater beach bridge, it's got tons of fish and perhaps a jewfish or two. the gulf is pretty cold by local standards this time of year (mid 60's), i'd say no less that a 5ml, have fun. I'm thinking
of the keys or i would join you....

Thanks for the tip! I'll pass this info along to William. He's organizing the dive. I'm looking forward to it, of course! Hopefully my own gear will be ready for this one.if you have not picked out a dive boat look into tanks-o-lot in clearwater

Tug Sheridan – A 180-foot ocean going tug still sitting up right in one piece in 80-feet of water. Lots of marine life including big barracuda. Good advanced dive.

Sure you want to dive with a Nole? I am assuming by the handle that FSUSCUBAPRO is from the Dark Side. Be afraid, be very afraid.
If I was still living in Tampa, I would be loading my gear bag as we speak. Unfortunately, being in North Alabama at the moment, I am out of pocket. Have a great time. Let me know how it goes though. I will be down there seeing family in the spring and if you like the dive operator, I will keep that in mind.

And as a Hoosier myself, Jeff, I've got your back if the rival Crackers get all riled up.
